JAMB 2020 Result Checking Problems and Solutions

Are you among the candidates having issues or problems checking their results? If you have been unable to see your 2020 JAMB result, this post is for you.You must know that at this time, the only method JAMB has provided for candidates to check their results is the Text/SMS method. 
However, we believe that they are already aware that some candidates are unable to check their results using that method. So we believe that they will definitely make provision for such candidates to either check results via the board’s website with their registration numbers or the candidates’ profiles.
So candidates having issues checking their results are advised to exercise a bit of patience as they would be able to check theirs soon unless yours is among the ones withheld for various irregularities.

Solution To Result Checking Issues

1. Ensure the Phone number you are using to send RESULT to 55019 must be the one you provided during JAMB registration. If you have lost the Phone number or SIM and do not mind the stress of going through the SIM retrieval process, you can go ahead to retrieve the line and then use it to send the message.
2. Ensure the format of the SMS is RESULT to 55019. Note that the result must be in capital letter and it must be spelt “result” and not “results”
3. For those that have issues due to the network they are using, we understand that the network providers especially Airtel and GLO are working to resolve the issue. A candidate contacted Airtel customer care line and was duly informed that the problem has been noted and hopefully will be resolved soon.
Meanwhile, we are going to monitor and know when JAMB has enabled their portal or candidates’ profile for the checking of the result. You can check this post to know when it has been enabled.

JAMB Announces How many Times Candidates Can Change Course/Institution

  For JAMB candidates asking, “How Many Times Can I Do Change of Course and Institution?”, “Can I change My course and institution again after changing it the first time?” JAMB has officially answered your question. Read details below; Before now candidates who wish to effect changes on either their course and institution could only do it twice (2 times). However, things have changed.

What university catchment area is all about

Each federal university in Nigeria has its own catchment areas. The catchment areas of a university (note that catchment areas apply to only federal universities) are those areas (states) that a federal university is geographically connected to. According to the federal government’s admission policy, if your state of origin is recognized as part of the catchment area of the federal university you applied to study, you will stand a better chance of securing admission into that university than someone else whose state of origin is not recognized as part of the university’s catchment area. University of Benin (UNIBEN) for instance has Edo, Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross-River, Delta, Edo, Rivers State as its catchment areas. Let’s say two candidates apply for medicine and Surgery in University Of Benin, one of them is from Delta State and the other one is from Enugu State. Let’s assume the one from Delta State has a UTME score of 220 and the one from Enugu ahs a UTME score of 245; the o...
